The Cleveland Browns waived wide receiver Cedric Tillman on August 27, ahead of their final preseason game against the New England Patriots. This decision follows the Browns drafting two wide receivers earlier in the offseason, suggesting Tillman's role was at risk. The team also waived two players the previous day without making replacements. Tillman recorded 71 receptions for 833 yards during his three seasons with the team but has struggled with injuries, missing 10 games over the last two years. The timing of the release raises speculation about a possible trade involving Tillman before the matchup.
